About The Shot
On this shot, I shoot the cue ball off the point of the side pocket, going another two rails and pocketing a ball in the corner.
Discipline: Bank & Kick
Difficulty: Beginner
Make This Shot
The set up for this shot is incredibly simple, as you can see. Place a hanging ball in the corner pocket and the cue ball in the middle of the table, more or less.
The key to getting this shot is finding out where to aim. If it's not obvious, I hit the side pocket point that's on the side where the object ball is. I like to start with the cue ball directly out from that side pocket point. I use a little bit of draw also with running english, in this case it's right hand english. I aim directly at the point and make adjustments from there. If it's running long, which it tends to do, I move the cue ball just slightly closer to the center of the table, keeping it on the long centerline.

Tim's Tidbit
Yoshikazu Kimura shot this on his video, but he shot two cue balls back to back creating a mirror image.
